caughtinanetwork | > Nepeta and Gamzee: Ship all the things

[When the recording starts the picture is moving along in a rather strange, jerky motion, up to a door that gets headbutted open by the feathery head that's holding the starfish in its mouth, revealing...

...what seems to be the low-lit interior of something more akin to a cave than a room, littered with messy piles of soft scraps and plushies and yarn and even the occasional teapot.

A monstrous shadow looms on the wall, a fearsome looking four-horned creature.]

You're the best, Gamzee! I'd nefur have been able to reach to use all that extra wall if you weren't here, nope nope nope!

[And with a squawk the chocobo drops the SFC, sending it cartwheeling until it points at the origins of that shadow, a messier-than-usual kitty troll perched on a clown troll's shoulders, various hues of paint staining her hands and clothes and even her cheeks, still dripping a bright red from an outstretched paintbrush that had been adding the finishing touches to a heart high up on:]

Oh, Pounce! Hi Pounce! I'm really glad that Gamzee brought you to visi...POUNCE WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?! OH NOOOOO...

[She attempts to leap at the wall to block it from view; this doesn't go well when instead it just makes both trolls topple over in a tangle of limbs.]

My wallllllll! [click!]

He did! You know, he nefur took them off even when the sun wasn't out.

Oh.

[Darkleer holds a hand up to his mouth in a position that some might label as 'contemplative'. In reality, it's just to hide the enormous smile that's on his face. Good thing he has big hands.]

I see.

So go and talk to him about it already!!

[It would help more if she didn't have a moirail WHO ALSO DOES THAT AT TIMES. Darkleer, you are so not fooling her.]

I didn't say anything, why are you encouraging me to go speak with him?

[HUFF]

Beclaws it's what moirails do! Come on, go! Don't purrtend you wouldn't like to see him!

I really doubt this is the wise thing to do, Miss Leijon.

[Stubborn until the last!]

Tell me purrcisely what's unwise about it! At worst you'll still be his engineer and at best you'll fill the bestest quadrant there is!

It has little to do with the two of us-

[Although maybe that is a slight worry, just look at the complications that happened between him and Summoner before they got their act together.]

-and more to do with the wild-maned, facepainted, taller-than-even-me problem in the bubble which I am still not sure of how to deal with.

But I thought he'd been dealt with!!

And anyway, no one helps you through rough times like a moirail. [SHE IS NOT GIVING UP. EVER.]

Dealt with in general. I am still trying to convince the Grand Highblood that I am not a threat.

We did not part on... good terms. At all.

[Him, his subordinate, defying not just any order, but the order to kill...]

D --> Nothing
D --> Why do you ask?

D --> The Helmsman already has another who can take care of him far better than I ever could
D --> He would be, strangely, safer with him than myself
D --> Considering the current circumstances.

:33 < you know whats hes like, hed nefur say it
